Curbside Christmas Tree Recycling in Marin County 2014

With over 250,000 residents inMarin County, it is a good thing there are so many easy ways to
recycle Christmas trees at the curbthuskeeping them from going into landfill and then turning the trees into mulch. When I was a child we used to cut all the branches
off the tree and toss each one into the fire with a well wish, resolution or prayer
for someone or something good to happen in the New Year. Well, now we are green savvy.
We have "spare the air" days and a well-organized
county wide curbside recycling program to divert waste from our landfills.

Each garbage pick-up department has their own guidelines as
to what, where, when and how to dispose of your Christmas tree... so take a look below.
Also, take a moment to follow the links to your garbage collection department
for tips on all types of recycling and composting.

Place trees at curb next to green can (not inside). Cut
trees to 6 feet or less. No flocked trees, tree stands or ornaments. Collection
on your service day for the month of January; one tree per house or drop off
